I know it seems to be out of vogue now - but, what happened to all of the avowed libertarians? Seems like trans rights is a pretty no brainier libertarian position

Not very libertarian to give puberty blockers or perform genital mutilation on children. Or in sports allow men to compete against women

You could argue that it is very libertarian to let people be themselves and make their own decisions.

Well using the same logic then say beating your kids would be libertarian. Having sex with minors would be libertarian…

No that would not be the same logic. A person being themselves doesn't hurt or really infringe upon others. Beating a kid or having sex with a minor hurts someone else and infringes upon their rights.

Performing genital mutilation and giving puberty blockers to minors doesn’t hurt minors? :suspicious:

And JSO would disagree with that last part lol..

The only person who could be hurt is the person making the decision and it's very libertarian to let people make their own decisions, even minors and even when it hurts them. The person a libertarian might "allow" to infringe upon a minor making that decision is a parent, not the government or elected officials.

In the majority of cases I don't think minors should be undergoing gender reassignment surgery but I'm not a libertarian in the strictest sense.

JSO identifies as a libertarian without understanding what it means.

A right-wing takeover of a Colorado school board has some of the town’s conservatives deeply concerned
“It is terribly important to be a disengaged citizen, and indeed, a disengaged student,” said David Randall, research director at the National Association of Scholars, a conservative organization that created the standards last year.
Sounds like a good way to get an authoritarian government.

With a slight alternation to #1, his 3 points apply to both parties.
  1. Facts that don't support our agenda don't matter.
  2. Hypocrisy is not a constraint to behavior.
  3. Shamelessness is a superpower. Can you really argue that the Clinton Foundation, Hillary's email server, Benghazi, Hunter's paintings and foreign "positions" aren't shameful and should have consequences?

My reply to her is how are Santo‘s lies any worse than Biden‘s? Because I have a huge list of Biden‘s lies from over the years. If the donks are willing to give a free pass to all of Biden‘s lies, then nothing wrong with the conks doing the same to Santos. And Biden‘s NUMEROUS lies came before Santos‘s..

That's a fair question.

I do find it ironic that a trump supporter would want to make a big deal out of another politician's lies.

Between what the GOP did to whistleblowers under the Trump administration and what's happening now to supposed whistleblowers under this administration, it's a wonder that anyone legitimate will ever step up again. If I found myself working in government and I saw something that wasn't good, even I'd have second thoughts about coming forward and saying something. Almost best to just keep your head down and just collect your paycheck. Or just not work in government in the first place. In that world, then, the only whistleblowers would truly be the politically ambitious or interested. Strange times indeed.

Jordan (and Comer) is presiding over a shitshow witch hunt just like the 1st trump impeachment and Jan 6 Committee were shitshow witch hunts. Doesn't mean there isn't/wasn't some meat to the allegations but the chairs and the participants decided to focus on style over substance.
